Abstract: In order to produce castings from cast iron with foliated graphite, the carbon content of the cast iron can be set at between approximately 3 and 4% by controlling the melting process of the type and/or operation of the melting furnace. The molten mass is then cast in a sand-casting or lost-form method. During conventional cooling, the known mechanical properties of the cooled cast are set. In order to improve these mechanical properties in terms of hardness and strength, the casting is released from its mold at a temperature ranging from 1,100° C. to 800° C. and is immediately subjected to a cooling treatment by being blasted with an air flow in order to cool it to below 723° C. in a given amount of time. The casting, in selected regions, is cooled to below 723° C. by specific intermittent bursts of air in a relatively short amount of time in order to produce a harder structure. The cooling treatment is stopped when the temperature at the eutectoid line of the iron-carbon diagram is reached.

Abstract: A system for the application of markings to a fixed traffic-bearing substrate, such as road marking lines, comprising a supply tank (2) for the marking material. The material is fed from the tank to applicator means (20a-20c), such as an applicator, an extruder or a spray head, by means of which the material is applied to the substrate. Two feed containers (4a, 4b) are inserted between the supply tank and the applicator, which feed containers are alternately filled and feed the applicator. This provides an even flow of marking material in contrast to known structures based on a mechanical pump which may give a pulsating flow. With level meters in the feed containers it is possible to record and adjust the applied amount of material per unit of area.

Abstract: A novel method for measuring a deposit point is provided, which makes it possible to quickly and accurately measure a cloud point. A test sample is irradiated at an angle of incidence θ with an incoming light beam which satisfies an expression θ < θ2 while gradually cooling the test sample such as gas oil, and a totally reflected light beam from the test sample is detected for every temperature, provided that θ2 represents a critical angle of total reflection of a deposit such as a paraffin component deposited when the test sample is cooled. The deposit point of the test sample is determined from change in intensity of the totally reflected light beam with respect to the change in temperature. The light intensity distributions detected by a sensor array at respective temperatures are statistically processed to more accurately determine the deposit point. It is possible to use a total reflection type sensor having a waveguide structure formed with a light-incoming optical path and a light-emitting optical path. CCD is used as a detector. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for the fabrication of indirect dental restoratives includes the making of a first, pre-operative impression of a tooth to be restored using a first polyvinyl silicone (PVS) material disposed in a clear tray, followed by the preparation of the tooth. A second, final post-operative impression of the tooth is taken utilizing a second PVS material. A tooth model is then made by pouring a low viscosity and suitably rigid, third PVS material into the final impression. Prior to the complete setting of the low viscosity PVS material, a higher viscosity, fourth PVS material is applied onto the model PVS material to form a completed model with base. The model is then fitted into the pre-operative impression matrix made from the first PVS material. Layers of composite are packed onto the impression in the clear matrix. The model (with attached base) is then inserted into the composite disposed in the first PVS material and the resulting matrix is placed in a single apparatus for conducting both light and heat cure of the dental composite. The apparatus employs a thermister disposed in a composite material, the thermister/composite assembly being disposed in the curing chamber and connected to a control device which controls a heat lamp also disposed in the apparatus. Curing of the dental composite is performed by heating until the thermister reaches a selected temperature.

The transition metal carbonitride is produced by mixing (a) a transition metal oxide source of a transition metal in the above formula and (b) a carbon source such as carbon black. This mixture is heated at a rate of between about 100K/sec to about 100,000,000K/sec in a nitrogen containing non-oxidizing gas such as nitrogen or nitrogen mixed with argon to an elevated temperature that makes carbothermal reduction of the transition metal oxide source thermodynamically favorable for a residence time sufficient to convert the transition metal oxide source into at least one product selected from the group consisting of (i) a transition metal carbonitride and (ii) a transition metal carbonitride precursor. The product may be exposed to a finishing step involving heating the product to a temperature less than the elevated temperature in a finishing atmosphere such as nitrogen, hydrogen, inert gas or combinations thereof to form submicrometer carbonitrides of higher purity or different stoichiometry.
